Details

Join Daniel Davidson at the end of the residency week for a captivating work-in-progress sharing of the R&D process for 'Tackle'. This thought-provoking piece delves into the multifaceted nature of masculinity, challenging society's perceptions of male identity. Set within the dynamic context of a five-a-side football match, the work explores themes inherent to football and queer culture, while examining the vast spectrum of masculinity. As the project is still in its early stages, the residency at Dance Base offers an invaluable opportunity for Daniel and his talented dancers to investigate and explore these themes and ideas.
